i was trying out how to configure manually postgreSQL and mySQL database servers into Apache with php as a module. luckily i was successful in configuring those things. however, to have better management on mySQL databases in tried to install and configure phpMyAdmin. but i always encounter error (attached image shows). even though a i had already the file config.inc.php(attached also) in the phpmyadmin directory that error always comes out. i don't understand the thing saying "using the password: no". i don't know what file that sets the "no" as the password. any help is very much appreciated.

"using the password: no" means that you try to access mysql for user root, without a password. So you may have set a password, but it could be missing from the config file.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; 
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']      = 'root';

// put here your password after setting one 
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']  = '';
